Unknown to all but his assistants, he has abducted two mysterious Pokémon, {{OBP|Zorua|M13}} and its mother {{OBP|Zoroark|M13}}. He blackmails Zoroark into attacking Crown City in the guises of his [[legendary beasts]] by threatening the safety of her child. Zorua escapes, but this does not harm Kodai's plan, as Zoroark is unaware of that fact and he merely uses a projection of Zorua to convince her. Kodai begins his plan, secretly editing Zoroark's illusionary rampage to make it appear she is truly destroying the town. He then proceeds to order the city's evacuation and 'apologize' for his Legendary Beasts rampaging and framing Zoroark for full responsibility of the attack. With the city empty, Kodai is then free to search Crown City for his prize. | ||
He intends to capture Celebi, who has appeared in Crown City from twenty years in the future, with the goal of finding the Time Ripple it leaves behind upon arrival, as should Celebi should reach the Time Ripple first, it will disappear before he can obtain its power. A vision he has early in the story reveals to him that {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} will oppose him before he even meets them, but also seemingly shows him emerging victorious. His visions and pursuit of Celebi ultimately lead him to the Pokémon Baccer Stadium, where the Time Ripple is located. However, Celebi takes off into the forest, forcing Kodai to follow, only to discover he'd been tricked into chasing Zorua disguised as Celebi. Despite the best efforts of Karl's Bronzor and Zorua, he ultimately knocks Bronzor out and recaptures Zorua with the claw he intends to use to absorb the Time Ripple, only sustaining a bite to his arm in the process. | He intends to capture Celebi, who has appeared in Crown City from twenty years in the future, with the goal of finding the Time Ripple it leaves behind upon arrival, as should Celebi should reach the Time Ripple first, it will disappear before he can obtain its power.
